A funny story

Liz and I were on the Quayside bus in Newcastle this week on our way to Newcastle University, sat opposite us on the bus were a rather elderly well dressed couple who were very loudly discussing the benefits given to disabled people!

The lady suddenly announced that it was ok for people who had had strokes to get help because that "rather nice gentleman on the BBC had had a stroke"  apparently he speaks very well as he had obviously been to Eton and then Cambridge.

Liz and I found it very difficult not to laugh out loud!

Thank you Andrew Marr for making strokes respectable!

  2. Funny! Andrew Marr is actually an advocate for aphasia. He made this video a few years ago (before his own stroke). http://youtu.be/XYXSxNu01gc
